Thames= pronounced tmz, though why on earth this is so escapes me. The Thames Festival was on during the weekend and I managed to pop in for part of it, not quite expecting how huge the festival was. We walked across from The London Eye to the Tate and barely scratched the surface of everything… Continue reading The Thames

Frock Camisole
Full day of photos from various events and too tired to go through them now. There is something I haven’t posted about for a while and that’s my knitting. I’ve started on this camisole about a month and a half ago, but it took longer than expected due to lack of free time. The pattern… Continue reading Frock Camisole
Silver lining
The week in review. Can’t sleep, lack of sleep, lost concentration, endless days blurring into negative days and no energy. Thank goodness it’s Friday and I will be in the city for work for Monday!
Southeast Asian ingredients – Kangkung
It seems like everyone in my flickr stream feature food in their weekend update. I’m not sure if there’s something in the air that requires comfort eating, but for me the weather is definitely making me rather peckish. Tonight is my turn to cook in our share household; something we do on a semi regular… Continue reading Southeast Asian ingredients – Kangkung
Comfort food – banana bread
After three months away from Australia, it surprised me that I haven’t craved anything too much. Well I do miss a good coffee that’s not from a coffee chain, Pork roll from the local Vietnamese bakery, great Asian food in general and a decent sausage roll…but nothing that made me wake up in the middle… Continue reading Comfort food – banana bread
The zinefest that never was
I was supposed to be at the Manchester zinesfest last Saturday, but through a bizarre combination of natural disasters and plane trouble I ended up spending five hours in the airport and arriving twenty minutes before closing time. Very disappointed, not to mention cranky as hell and there’s no way in hell I’ll ever go… Continue reading The zinefest that never was
Random gigs
It’s amazing the number of people I ended up asking and rejecting the offer of a free ticket. I was honestly thankful R said she will happily join me to watch some random band in some random place, just because… The ticket was a freebie courtesy of Time Out’s Mailing List. . I didn’t know… Continue reading Random gigs
European Weekender Part Deux (Paris)
I have a confession. I am not a big fan of Paris. I just don’t understand why it’s so special. Sure it has some amazing architecture, gorgeous boulevards and so chic it hurts, but something always go wrong everytime I go there. If it’s not the crazy subway, the stupidly unhelpful signage, somewhere along the… Continue reading European Weekender Part Deux (Paris)
Day in the life
I should really be packing for Paris, but chilling with the housemates after a long week is too big of a temptation to miss. The above photo was meant to be posted as part of a step by step series on the cupcake Restaurant Girl and I made for a dear friend’s wedding. The end… Continue reading Day in the life
Living in a cottage in the middle of the wood
Well not quite, but every time I see signage for Swiss Cottage and St John’s Wood I always put them together in my head. I haven’t really posted about where I’m living, probably because I’m still trying to find out about it myself. Currently the boiler isn’t working so everyone is either having baths or… Continue reading Living in a cottage in the middle of the wood
